"Matt, Michelle, and their two kids, Emilia and Matt Jr were a pleasure to have at the hotel. I wish they could stay forever and help me run the place. I'm sure they would do a better job of it than me! I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for really nice people who know how to work hard, all while keeping their smiles on! Johnny will miss his assistant Matt I'm sure, LOL! Michelle is a sweet lady who helped me in numerous ways. She has many talents. I wish them the best and hope to see them again in the future. They will always be welcome!"

Workaway: Puerto Cayo, Ecuador

Tasks included clearing brush, sweeping, tennis court maintenance, beach cleaning, and general cleaning up of the premises.

"Matthew and Michelle were a wonderful asset to us. They worked very hard above and beyond and were very patient through many trials, including an electrical fire that left them without electricity for a week, internet outages that hindered her writing business, and a seal rescue effort on our beach. They helped us with the never ending tasks of keeping our beach, streets and walkways cleaned, burning trash, gardening maintenance, etc. They did a great job of working unsupervised and with little direction. They both have very pleasant, easygoing personalities and are lovely people to visit with as well. We are very grateful for all their efforts and wish them a safe and successful continued journey."

"Matt and Michelle were very helpful in our construction and social media projects. It was great to meet such an adventurous family; traveling and world schooling in their super cool VW van. Thanks for all your help and support and best of luck in driving back north!"
